Servin Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru 2019 (750ML)

93 BH / 92+ WA / 92 VM

Note: from a huge 2.74 ha parcel in Montée de Tonnerre proper and Pied d'Aloup
Tasting note: A discreet but perceptible dose of wood can be found on the cool floral, pear confit, tidal pool and iodine-scented nose. The refined, intense and wonderfully sleek medium weight flavors flash a bracing salinity on the classy, balanced and wonderfully persistent finale. This chiseled effort is a relatively powerful MdT and like several wines in the range, possesses a genuinely lovely texture. Recommended.--Allen Meadows, Burghound

The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre unwinds in the glass with scents of citrus zest, crisp green apple, mint, iodine and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, its satiny attack segues into a tangy mid-palate, concluding with a penetrating finish. One of the highlights of the range, this should age with grace. --William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

The 2019 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru is intense on the nose, showing a little reduction, although that soon blows away to reveal lime, yellow plum and light crushed stone aromas. The palate is fresh on the entry, with more edge than the Vaillons and Vaucoupin that I tasted alongside. Similarly, there is a tang of salinity toward the finish that keeps this Chablis alert and fresh, showing decent persistence on the finish. Very fine. -- Neal Martin, Vinous Media
